Depends on what you plan to use them for, ie Fast Road/ Track.

Have a word from Ian @ Godspeed Brakes.

I've not used them personally but I believe the pads you would be looking at are Kevlar. Those I've read are one up from standard. You would need to ring or talk to Ian for your best price.

I've used Pagid Blue and they're dusty,but breaking with those is just amazing

For track days have look for Performance Friction pads and for best prices contact Alyn@AS Performance 0191 410 3770,he is dealer too for Pagid and other pads and next day delivery

Yes.... don't!!

You can't go wrong with Pagid, Performance Friction, Ferrodo or Carbotech, for fast road use Performance Friction are a good pad at a good price in my opinon, they're the most common pads we sell for fast road use.

The Carbotech range is geared more towards track use but they're bloody incredible.

Rob here at Indigo recently took his car around Nurburgring and SPA with Ferrodo 2500's and found them to be a decent pad

For fast road use take a look at these. Very popular and well priced: http://www.superhids.co.uk/brakes/br...ront-set-.html

Other worthwhile options include PF.11, EBC NDX, EBC Orangestuff will be 2 or 3 times the cost.

Give us a call for advice on 01462 600241

Cheers all...a few to choose from.

I don't do track days and only the odd fast road when i'm on my todd(or eventually when i get out with the WY-SCOOBS club)...so will prob look at the Godspeed Kevlar.

I have the carbon Lorraine rc6 pads and they are bloody awesome for price, but turns wheels black with dust and squeal when pottering around town at low speeds
